It’s been four years, but I still remember the song the worship team was playing as I walked into church that particular Sunday.  I’ll be honest, I might have been mouthing the words, but my heart was having a hard time believing what I was singing. “Our God is the Lion, the Lion of Judah,

My friend and I were chatting away on the sidelines of our boys’ basketball game. With college just around the corner, my friend asked if I had any concerns about my firstborn leaving home. Funny she should ask. You see, I DID have a concern…but I hadn’t thought to share it with anyone. ‘It is

I will try not to overuse that ‘u’ word that’s been used too many times in 2020 … you know, unprecedented. I would like to think that the word for 2020 is RESILIENT. A resilient object ‘springs back into shape after being bent, stretched & compressed’. I am sure many of us have felt stretched

“Are you ready?” “Yes, Dad. I’m ready.” He was moments away from walking me down the aisle and giving me away. I can’t imagine how he was feeling. It must be quite daunting to let go of your daughter, yet fulfilling, to know you’ve done everything you can to raise your little girl into the

Last Sunday morning, in the rush of getting ready for church, I made 2 pieces of toast and left them on the counter.  After I had spread the requested pumpkin spice cream cheese on them, I left them sitting side by side, a few inches apart on the kitchen counter.  I ran off to help

So, who are you voting for? Just kidding. I know who I’m voting for and you know who you are voting for … so, we’ll leave that right there.   We all have our reasons why we feel our particular candidate is the better choice. Maybe we like their platform or even their personality.  We may

My boys may look alike and share a common love for God and basketball, but don’t let that fool you…they are VERY different. One is structured, the other is free spirited. One likes people but appreciates his ’alone time,’ the other thrives around people and could be around them 24/7. One takes quite awhile to
